    Admariable affaciandos all three of them. Tho it´s a shame only the bottom liquid of the espresso was poured. If one wants a whole experiense of a espresso shot, then you could have poured a single shot and stirred it before pouring it onto the shaker. I wonder is there any chanse of doing a non alcoholit espresso”martini?”

  • Hollowbarista says:

    5 bean blend? May I say it must have been hard to combine a working blend of so a many types. Tho I guess northen Italian blend would be easier one because they are so darkly roasted that its quite a oily one. Mayby?

  • tommyriven says:

    Gah, kill the shot!

  • yakk999 says:

    I have lived in italy for almost 7 years and my family has lived there for well over a 100 years…….this guy is an idiot who has obviously never been there because nothing he is saying about italy is true. Go on vacation and educate yourself.

    How is a drink with no gin and no vermouth still a martini?

  • AlonYehudaAbraham says:

    That is a fantastic combination for a cocktail! I usually drink black Russian or Guinness.
    I will try this one as well for sure, thank you for the tip. Cheers!

    yep, the steam pressure thing is incorect. in order to get enough pressure this way, you would have to heat the boiler to about250F. WAY TO MUCH HEAT. all you will tase in that esresso is a charcoal bitter. pro machines use a pump. the grind finness and tamp pressure cause the prortafilter presure to reach 9 bars (abotu217 psi) because the coffee grounds cause resistance.

    in the last 5-10 years the new one’s i’ve seen are fully auto. maybe they only install those where they have a lot of customers? they used to be semi auto

  • raspberrytwist says:

    haha…even I know StarBucks is something nasty when it comes to espresso. I jus work at my dad’s coffee house, SB’s machines are fully automatic aren’t they?

  • totalpackage181 says:

    steam pressure to force the water through the grounds….what is the vibe pump or rotary pump for….ahhhhhh perhaps he is thinking of a crap krups or something not a real hx machine

    There is no different kind of coffee in northern part o Italy (I live in Milano), but they are right when says that the northern Italy coffee is delicate than the south or middle Italy coffee.
    It change the “miscela” and the way that the coffee is served.
    BTW all italian coffee espresso is the best you can drink.
    StarBucks don’t serve real espresso, also in France is difficult to find a real espresso.
    Go in any part of Italy and you can get a real coffee, it is like a delicious juice of beans.

  • chillynites says:

    I don’t understand why she says 40 lbs instead of the usual 30 lbs. Is this a different way to tamp??

  • 54spiritedwill54 says:

  • lobzdik says:

    people will make up a lot of things to make them selves appear special

  • jinfiesto says:

    Good way to ruin the crema on a beautiful shot.

  • madskillz808 says:

    do you use the espresso hot or do you have to let it chill before adding to the mixing tin?

  • afcs09 says:

    Starbucks makes SHIT espresso…try the real thing man you will be blown away

  • afcs09 says:

    sadly you are right i can not drink coffee here after having it from Italy.

  • metalarthes says:

    Northen italy coffe??? There’s different quality of cofee in Italy? I’m italian and I never felt about this

  • mizas79 says:
